As a long-time SCA webmaster as well as a fairly serious amateur photographer (in the SCA and elsewhere), I found the GC recommendations to be, generally, very useful, and I hope the Board will consider them seriously. (And yes, I will make my comments to the BoD directly as well). If you are an SCA Chronicler, Webmaster, or photographer, take the time to read the GC commentary in full -- it is a very worthwhile investment of your time. Then contact the Board and make your feelings known.

Personally, I found their recommendations on photography -- basically "follow modern-world law in your jurisdiction" -- to be very common-sensical, and I would welcome this change. I spent some time working as a technical journalist for an online publication, and even as a paid professional for a for-profit company with much deeper pockets than the SCA (and therefore a more tempting lawsuit target), we didn't have nearly the regulatory restrictions that the SCA does.
